Hemolytic staphylococcus is a bacterium that can cause infection-inflammatory reactions. This is a conditionally pathogenic microorganism. He received this naming, because he can provoke purulent processes. The bacterium itself can reach 1.3 μm in size. As a rule, the staphylococcus are lodged in groups that seem to resemble grape clusters.
Ways of infection with hemolytic staphylococcus
Infection occurs only after direct contact with the microorganism. The most common ways of spreading the bacteria are as follows:

For a long time - while the immune system regularly corrects its duties - the microorganism can not manifest itself in any way. Immunity simply suppresses the activity of bacteria. In this case, even tests do not show the presence of staphylococcus hemolytic. And if you find it all the same and succeed, the content will be minimal - safe for health.
When the body weakens, bacteria immediately begin to multiply. They spread to the respiratory tract, penetrate into different organs and skin. If the hemolytic staphilococcus is in the blood, it begins to destroy the red blood cells.
